Takahashi founded a nursing care business that practiced advanced nursing care x IT at the time, achieving an M&A with a major nursing care provider, as the founder of Akarie Inc., known for its IT utilization in the nursing care industry. As a manager of a nursing care business, he faced recruitment as one of the most serious challenges on a daily basis. Recruitment activities and post-hire employee support are extremely important. However, the organizational structure could not keep up. In many cases, recruitment staff also handled nursing care duties, and the process of contacting applicants and arranging interviews relied on individual efforts. This situation is not limited to the nursing care industry. Similar challenges arise in many industries that support people's lives and workplaces, such as healthcare, logistics, childcare, and food service. robottte was born to solve this structural issue. ■ Why Essential Workers?
